To get milliseconds in python, use the below code.

 import datetime
 print('Datetime in milliscond using now()',datetime.datetime.now())
 print('Datetime in milliscond using utcfromtimestamp()', datetime.datetime.utcfromtimestamp(0))

output looks like below

 Datetime in milliscond using now() 2019-03-11 17:34:28.290409
 Datetime in milliscond using now() 1970-01-01 00:00:00

To get a date string with milliseconds (3 decimal places behind seconds), use this:

from datetime import datetime

print datetime.utcnow().strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f')[:-3]

OUTPUT 2018-10-04 10:18:32.926

%f is displaying milliseconds
